Can Blair do anything right?

Gordon Brown has suffered a body blow to his political reputation - just days after his confident speech to Labour conference - with the release of official figures showing the economy at its weakest level for 12 years.

Economic output showed an annual growth rate of 1.5 per cent during the summer, the lowest since the first quarter of 1993 when Britain, under John Major's Tory government, was emerging from recession.

The news, a revision to the Government's own figures yesterday, follows the Chancellor's admission that he would miss his forecast of growth of between 3 and 3.5 per cent this year. He had hinted during a visit to Washington for last week's International Monetary Fund meetings, that growth this year would be above 2 per cent but below 2.5 per cent.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Before Labour came to power we were economically the fourth most competitive country in the world. We are now the 13th most competitive country in the world. Thanks Blair and co, you have done a wonderful job, only joking.

What the hell is going on in this country? Why are people continuing to vote for Labour when it is obvious that they are the most thing to happen to this country since Neville Chamberlain?

Are people seriously this bline and if so, why are they this blind?

What has Blair succeeded in while he has been prime minister? I haven't seen one success from him and its about time he did something.

The growing oil prices are only going to make things worse and I am seriously starting to think that within the next 10 years the world will be plunged into another 1929 type depression and we could be one of those worst hit. Is Blair doing this on purpose? If we are in a 1929 like depression then he may say that europe will be better off united which will allow him to give complete sovereignty to the EU. It's unlikely but I can see it happening which is why we should get this disastrous government out now.
